From what I remember of what I played during the comp, this one is pretty fun. I can't say it's particularly mind-blowing, but it's got some fun twists and turns in there.

Not sure I'd call that a "miracle", myself. :P

The real miracle is the friends we made along the way. Sonnie has a distinct approach to character writing that I enjoy, and mix that in with a unique locked room mystery, there is quite a bit to like with this case.

This was definitely a fun little case! It was a bit on the easier side, but that's not necessarily a complaint. Very interesting use of the comp theme, as well. Definitely feels in-line with standard AA. Overall, a fun story with an interesting mystery.

I’m having trouble seeing the custom sprites. They flicker or aren’t seen at all.

That's odd. What broswer are you using, out of curiosity?

Safari and I’m on mobile so that might be a contributing factor, however other cases seems to run smoothly on it. No pressure really, just wanted to let you know!

Hi hello I enjoyed this case, thought I'd point out a couple of issues that I caught. Just a presentation thing since you said that typos that had been pointed out hadn't been edited yet by the time I played. Aside from that, I think I'd generally say that I really liked the canon characters in this case, while feeling like the OCs needed a little more time to breathe and be fleshed out.
Spoiler : :
Kyle's "blue grass" testimony has a minor presentation bug for the associated penalty conversation, the Judge is missing a nametag at the end and his sprite doesn't have any mouth movements.

I feel like the timestamps are off. At the start of the trial it reads 11:45 PM. Later on after Ema's accident it also reads 11:45 PM again. I feel like these should also be AM, don't think court happens that late, but it's possible I'm misinterpreting something. Something I am sure is an error though is that once we're back at the defendant lobby for the end of the trial, it reads 11:20 PM despite that being an earlier time from the previous times.
